The Apple TV science fiction drama series “Pluribus,” by director Vince Gilligan, has been nominated for 18 Emmy Awards, the Television Academy announced Wednesday.

The series was filmed in several locations in New Mexico. Gilligan is well known for his shows “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul,” both of which were also filmed in the state. Filming locations for “Pluribus” included a temporary cul-de-sac built on the West Mesa and at the Coronado Center and Vernon’s Speakeasy.

The show follows Carol, played by Rhea Seehorn, in a post-apocalyptic world where a hive mind has taken over everyone. The nine-episode season premiered in November 2025.

HBO’s “Miss You, Love You,” which also filmed in New Mexico and stars Allison Janney and Andrew Rannells, was nominated for Outstanding Television Movie.

“We are so happy to see ‘Pluribus’ get the recognition it deserves. Writer/director Vince Gilligan found his creative family in New Mexico and has been making great stories set here for more than 19 years. Congratulations to ‘Pluribus’ on its 18 Emmy nominations, recognizing excellence across disciplines, including directing, writing, editing and acting. It’s a testament to the creative talents of more than 1,400 New Mexicans who work on the show,” Steve Graham, New Mexico Film Office director, said in an email. “Additionally, the nomination for ‘Miss You, Love You’ for Outstanding Television Movie shows the diversity and quality of projects in the state.”
